Apart from the obvious google search... is there any site on the net that goes into the basics of how to properly play pop and slap bass guitar?
I'm buying a bass soon for multitracking and can play everything except that technique.
I'm just interested in the basics with maybe a few easy exercises to get me started.

This is a great book for slap bass, I highly recommend it.

Just grab a bucket of fried chicken to munch on and remember it's all in your wrist.
